KY Keno started out in just a few places but now it can be played anywhere that has a lottery terminal and Online. It's not a type of game where large one time wins are expected, but more like a collection of small wins that are under the IRS radar. While it's played in bars here too, lots of convenience stores have tables set up near a large monitor showing the drawings every 4 minutes. One place even has two Kiosk lottery vending machines where players can use play slips.

We have Keno here (North Carolina) but 90% of places to play are bars... while gambling is a bad habit within itself I'm not going to a bar to play Keno... although I would love to play the game and many people feel the same as I do . With NCEL website listing only 6 winners in over a month of any substantial value and I'm including the 5k player then that should speak volumes to this shamble of a new game they limit their own income by putting it in bars . I'm sure the drunk late night few doll... [ More ]

We'll move on and be back in two years, McIntyre said. I have no plans in two years, I don't know what I'm doing next weekend.

Drugs are bad, m'kay.

Instead of trying to shove Keno down unimpressed voters' throats every two years, he could -- you may need to sit down for this -- redirect that all effort into developing new games people might actually want to play instead.

If NH Lottery adds Keno to their Igames, it won't matter what Concord wants or doesn't want.

it entailed being connected to a major horse run at rockingham park that featured the best horses in the country for a few years. back when a 100,000.00 race was a big deal. today maidens run for 100k routinely. you bought a sweepstakes ticket with a number on it of course and they drew out one for every horse in the race and paired it with you if yours got drawn. the ten people would go to the track that day and if your horse won you won. also paid minor prizes for 2nd, 3rd and so on.

I can still remember the sign above the toll area I believe as a child over 50 years ago saying New Hampshire Sweepstakes...what they called the lottery back then. Dad never played so don't know what it entailed.

Commission executive director Charlie McIntyre will not take NO for an answer. He is like a bull dog hanging on for dear life.

It took 10 times for the Lottery to be approved in 1963.

Good Luck

N.H. Lottery asks Concord to give Keno another shot

Nearly two years after Keno received a sound defeat in Concord, the New Hampshire Lottery Commission is hoping the Capital City will give the game another try.

Commission executive director Charlie McIntyre asked councilors on Monday night to consider asking city voters again on November's ballot whether the Keno603 game should be allowed in Concord.

Concord voters rejected Keno in a 2,249 to 1,723 vote and was one of the few cities to deny the game in 2017. Dover shot it down 1,509 to 1,1... [ More ]
